Thanks. My model does not have part 3 or part 4.

I had a leak in the pool light niche. I have all the replacement parts except for the face ring. The pool is 30+ years old and I cannot find an exact replacement for the face ring. I am attaching 2 pics for clarification. It has 10 screws with ears that slide over to seal the light. There's...

Thank you for explaining how the plumbing works. So if I understand you correctly the pool pump is drawing from the main drain and the skimmer but the connection for the main drain is connected somewhere below the surface to the pump line. So with the pump on, they are both pulling water but...

I have a slow leak in my underground pool. The water level is now below the skimmer inlet so I suspect the pool light. I would like to temporarily seal around the outside of the light where it meets the pool wall to see if the leak stops. I don't want to use epoxy because if the leak stops I...
